A：這句意為「他很渴，把整瓶水都喝光了」，是 His thirst was such that he drank up the whole bottle of water. 的倒裝句，屬於用來表示前因後果的 “such… that”、”so… that” (如此…以致於) 的句型應用。注意：so 後面要接形容詞或副詞 (so 為副詞)，而 such 後面要接名詞或名詞片語 (such 為限定詞) 或不接名詞 (such 為代名詞)。我們可用 so… that 來加以改寫為 He was so thirsty that he drank up the whole bottle of water.。
同樣地，我們也可將 so 移到句首來強調表示事件之原因的形容詞，此時句子亦同樣要倒裝：So thirsty was he that he drank up the whole bottle of water.。再舉一例來加深讀者對這種句型的印象：
- He was so surprised that he remained speechless for a few minutes. (他驚訝得好幾分鐘說不出話來) (正常句)
= So surprised was he that he remained speechless for a few minutes. (倒裝句)
= His surprise was such that he remained speechless for a few minutes. (正常句)
= Such was his surprise that he remained speechless for a few minutes. (倒裝句)
